Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
futex: Use correct exit on failure from futex_hash_allocate_default()
copy_process() uses the wrong error exit path from futex_hash_allocate_default().
After exiting from futex_hash_allocate_default(), neither tasklist_lock
nor siglock has been acquired. The exit label bad_fork_core_free unlocks
both of these locks which is wrong.
The next exit label, bad_fork_cancel_cgroup, is the correct exit.
sched_cgroup_fork() did not allocate any resources that need to freed.
Use bad_fork_cancel_cgroup on error exit from futex_hash_allocate_default().
